Wishing you all a Happy 2010 and i hope that 2009 was a memorable year for you all. For me 2009 made me start my blog ( a new years resolution i finally achieved!!),bought me lots of happy times with my family and also made me unemployed which in turn has made me into a full time mum spending lots of time with my lovely growing Ava (strange at first but more rewarding than anything else i've ever done).

2010 for our house is going to be a year when 3 will become 4 with a new little addition arriving sometime at the end of May and so a huge post Christmas /Spring clean is definitely in order as we make way for all that comes along with a new baby. But for now we are going to enjoy being 3 and I for one am determined to enjoy this blog again (now that my pregnancy sickness and tiredness has elapsed) and get that trusty sewing machine out again - after all there's a little tiny toed bundle who will surely need some new shoes.

Awaiting in the fireplace tonight is a letter from a little 2 year old (who is just grasping the idea of Santa and Christmas) to a very special person. I hope it is taken overnight as someone will be checking first thing in the morning - oh happy happy times x

We've just returned from a lovely week visiting relatives in Hamburg which was a lovely way to start this festive month. We have been to Germany several times at this time of year and it is so lovely to be able to experience 'authentic' German Christmas markets - so much lovely Gluhwein, Stollen, sausage (i have definitely started piling on those winter pounds!!) and beautiful wooden Christmas decorations - not an inflatable nylon santa or flashing house in sight. So now my tree is finally up - the cinnamon spice candles are burning and i'm feeling nicely festive - i hope you are too x
